Maddie's mom says: Maddie lives in Paris, France, but she is
American, from Connecticut. My sister brought her to France when
she was two months old. Maddie is a bundle of joy. She is energetic
and loves to play, especially with toys that squeak. We go on long
walks every day and she has lots of friends in the park. Despite
her small size she is fearless and runs up to big dogs to say
hello. She also has a huge appetite. In France dogs are allowed to
go everywhere. In restaurants she sits next to me and falls asleep
after checking out the chances of finding a crumb. She is my best
friend. She always makes me laugh and never ceases to amaze me with
her intelligence. At the end of the day she cuddles up on the
couch. And later she sneaks into bed when I am asleep.

Maddie is adorable!! You are so lucky that you can bring her everywhere with you -- I wish that I could do the same with my dog!

(I just have a quick question: Is the parson russel terrier the same breed as the jack russel terrier? I have been wondering about this for a while, and different sources seem to say different things. This beautiful puppy here does look a lot like a jack russel terrier, but, I don't know...there seems to be something different...)

Again, Maddie is sooo cute! And, more importantly, she sounds like she has a great personality! :)

The Jack Russell Terrier is the original working breed from English bloodlines. The "Parson Russell Terrier" is an affectation of the AKC to denote a dog of the JRT breed who doesn't work but who is a show dog. I have two JRTs and I am very proud of them. Why doesn't beautiful Maddie have 15 biscuits yet?? She is a gorgeous girl --- though to be frank, the length and set of her ears make me wonder if there isn't a little something else mixed in. True JRT ears are set high on the head and the fold-over is quite short with no feathering at the tips. Nevertheless, she is a darling girl and I am sure her people adore her!

i must admit she is very cute... what a poser in the first pic! she looks like a lot of fun... *kisses!!!*
i wish we could take our puppies everywhere! there are a couple of cafes here that let you sit at the tables outside with dogs, they have water bowls too... i think its fantastic but we are yet to take our babies out on the town as they haven't had all their vaccinations yet.

What a cutie.....we usually takes our pup every where we go the only places he is not allowed is any place that has food. I love the 5th pic also. She looks as though she is a professional model hahahaha Enjoy her as they grow up way to fast. Huggs and Kisses for that little nose.

Bonjour Maddie, Ca va? Nous sommes tres bien. We are Emma and Henry, two bichon frises sister and brother. Our mom and dad spend half the year in Paris and haven't seen you on the street yet. They know all of the Parisian dogs. They know some cool restaurants where the well-heeled Parisian dogs go. They will keep a lookout for you, ok? Our mom will give you lots of kisses like she does for all of the dogs in Paris. A bientot, mon amie!!

Awwwww, what a cutie! You are so lucky to be able to take her with you everywhere. Those "golden sunlight" pictures are impressive - they look professional! And I just love the one where she is asleep with her back legs crossed. Kisses to you, Maddie!

The difference between a "Jack" Russell and a "Parson" Russell is pretty easy: it's the length of the legs. The distinction arose because of a disagreement over the breed standard for Jack Russells, so the Parson Russell was broken out as the "long-legged" version and the Jack Russell is the shorter-legged version (although in some instances, the total difference is an inch!) Both are considered working dogs, as opposed to the Smooth Fox Terrier, the show cousin of the Jack/Parson Russell. In behavior, the two types of Russells are virtually identical; only time will tell whether or not that changes as pups are bred for height standards going forward. A lot of people still universally call these dogs "Jack Russells" and they aren't really incorrect, since the whole breed harkens back to the Reverand John "Jack" Russell, an Englishman who bred working terriers. You'll mostly hear the distinction only at AKC events like Westminster, where the Parson Russell is the dog that is shown as representative of the breed.

"The name of the Jack Russell Terrier was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier effective April 1, 2003 as requested by the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America, which was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier Association of America. FCI, ANKC, IKC, recognize the shorts as Jack Russell Terriers and the UKC recognized the shorts as Russell Terriers. The Parsons are the long legged Jack Russell Terriers named officially Parsons Russell Terriers. The Jack Russell Terrier and the Russell Terrier are the same breed but are entirely a separate breed from the Parsons Russell Terrier. "

Little Maddie has that "Je ne c'est qua" that only the most special little terrier has... sweet looks, a face that says "who, ME?" when you find her nibble marks on your birkenstocks, the courage of a dog ten times her weight, and the soul of a troublemaker that makes you love her all the more. Sigh. What's not to love? I wish we could bring my silly little Teena the Cairn over there to play with her. I know they would get along thick as thieves. Enchente'!!

in addition to being a stunning little puppy, maddie obviously has better manners than my hound. if i ever took her into a restaurant, i'd never, ever get her out! either that or they would throw her into the street after me.

We are on our 3rd JRT (one puddy and one Parson), and swore before our first that we would never have another terrier. After our first, Pete, we cannot imagine life w/o JRTs. Maddie is such a sweetie. Love the pic of the shoes and her! She looks like such a lady, but we Jack owners know better! lol

Awww What a sweet puppy. My JRT mix, Karma, fell in love with the first picture. She tried to lick the computer screen. JRT's are so cute and are little bundles of energy. You can't help but love them.

Hi Maddie, my honey brought me to france about 10 years ago and not only were the french people, like your mommy absolutely wonderful, but the dogs were so "CLASSY". I especially love the picture of you on your side with your little foot hooked over your knee! You are definitely a little Parisian Pup...I can remember the word for cat, but not the word for dog....oh shame on me! Thank your Mommy for your wonderful pictures and for the great trip down my own memories of France lane.
Jackie and her little dog named BELLE

I have two JRT girls and I love them dearly, as I know you do Maddie. I would love to live in France with my girls. They are so spoiled, but of course.
The pics are great. I oldest is 5 yrs old, I recued her and my Annie is 3 and I had her since she was 6 wks old. Love them.

"Maddie" is just adorable! My son and I have a shorthaired Jack Russell Terrier, male, 6 years old. He chewed everything in sight for the first year. I can't say I appreciated him too much at that time. After his first birthday he became the most awsome dog! He loves squeeky toys and to go for walks in the park, just like your girl. He sleeps under the blanket in my bed every night. I am sure your beautiful "Maddie" will bring as much joy to you as our "Merlin" does to us. Please update us as she grows.

There is no other species of animal which comes in such an array of shapes, sizes and personalities as the dog. The ebook described here has information on 100+ breeds, ranging from the world's smallest breed (the Chihuahua) to the tallest (the Irish Wolfhound).
